THE UMTEJO
-were deeply affected by what they saw?
whHe the treatment which they received
from the rich and haughty Carolinians in
their own home showed them how little
there was in common between Northern
and Southern Democrats.
The 009 delegates represented the best
elements In the party. They were men
of intelligence and of high standing In
their several states, and'they deeply felt
the soriouness of the crisis and the 1m-
portance Of the action which thy were

to the balloting the convention adopted
the two-thirds rule ior nominations and
formulated a platform.
The 38 members of the committee on
Tcsolutlons (one from each state) were
irom the tir&t 11 roconciuibly divided as
adherents of Douglas, or Jefferson Davis.
A previous oauous of the Southern mem
Tjers had committed them to the posl
tlon taken bj DEvis in Ills Senate resolu
tions. On the fifth day a divided report
was made. A bare majority reported a
platform declaring that neither Congress
nor any territorial Legislature could leg
islate In any manner whatever detrimen
tal to the right of property In slaves; and
that the Pederal Government was bound
to protect that right on Federal terri
tory. Sixteen members of the committee pre
sented a mirfbrity report w hlch upheld the
principle of popular sovereignty, and
pled&efl the party to support the Dred'
Scott decision, or any future declarations ,
or the Supreme Court respecting the
rights of property In any part of the
Union. Both Teports professed to stand
by the Cincinnati platform, upon which
Buchanan was nominated in 1S36; both
demanded tho annexation of Cuba and
the support of the fugitive slave law.
After an exciting discussion, in which
the ablest and most eloquent members
from the two sections .made earnest and
imp-esstve speeches, the convention
adopted the minority report of the Doug
las faction by a vote of 165 to J3S, 12 mem

majority, me Alabama delegation at(

majority of the members from six other

to ballot for candidates. Had the major

been quickly successful, but ,57 ballots
having failed to msikp a choice xmder

journed to meet again in Baltimore in
June.
The other faction of the convention also
organized, adopted a platform and ad
journed to meet, at Richmond. Va., in
June. "The party is split forever," said
Alexander H. Stephens. "In less than 32
months we shall be in a war, and that
the bloodiest in history."
The Constitutional Union Convention
Before the double-headed Democratic
convention anet again to complete its la
bors an effort to save the Union was
made by an assembly of delegates from

The four Presidential tickets having

One sold question was Involved. It was a
fight for union or disunion. In the North,
though many vot"-s were cast for .Breck
inridge and Bell, the real contest .was be
tween Lincoln and Douglas. Breckin
ridge repre ented the secession element;
Dut many wno voted for him were Union
men. The South cast more than 500,000
votes for .Bell and over lfO.COO for Doug

was far from being any overwhelming -e-ces
ion sentiment in tho slave states.
Breckinridge, as the only candidate appealing-
to that sentiment, lacked 135.f57 of
a majority in the slave states. Douglas

A strong effort was made In the North,
and e-pecially In New York, to fuse all
the elements cf orpo3l'ion and effect tho
defeat of Lincoln, But in spite of polit

The election, was an unusually quiet
one. No disturbance occurred at the polls.
Voters were oppressed with a sense of
the seriousness, the solemnity of the cri
sis and the momentous results to be ex
pscted'from their choice. There -was no
possible question as to the decision at the
ballot-box. The vote had been fair and
honest, and Lincoln Was the cholco bf the
people over any other candidate. He had
not. Indeed, a majority of the popular
.vote, but he .had three times the votes
of Bell, more, than double those of Breck
inridge and 665,036 more than Douglas.
The North was now at last united and
determined and calmly faced the angry
South, waltin-r for the next move upon
the gigantic chess board. "For -peeks be-
fore the election'' Southern newspapers
had constantly proclaimed that secession
would follow a "black- Republican" tri
umph. Now we should see whether this
was but ante-electron bluster. 'It was
clear that many of the Southern' leaders
shrank from the responsibility of the fa
tal step. Earnest Joyers of their country
as well as of their states, like Alexander
H. Stephens, 'strove with' 'all the energy
of their helng tc stem the rising torrent
ox disloyalty. Fiery South Carolina, o
long Indoctrinated by hor great Calhoun,
was first to act; she passed an ordinaries,

LIBELING A SHIP.
The Law Governing: the Payment of
Salvage.
New York Sunday News.
Since the disaster to the North Ger
man Lloyd line's piers, and steamships
there has been much talk of salvage.
Probably few persons could offhand give '
a definition of the word.
Generally speaking, salvage Is a reward
to which persons are Entitled when they.
render assistance In saving property from
destruction by pirates, enemies or the
elements. In these days, however, sal
vage has become almost peculiarly asso
ciated with the saving of ships, -which
cases occurring on the water are under
the jurisdiction of the United States Ad
miralty Courts.
These courts determine the amount of
salvage to be paid. In tho nature of
oSon tecldnv tZT
on Admiralty," an authority on matters
marine, says:
"Right to salvage depends on the saving
of the property; but the rate and amount
of salvage depend on tho amount of the
property, the probability of loss, the
amount of peril to the property,
the value of the service to tho
owner of the property and the J Lue" " "" UIUU tnen. QlQ- e exiena
personal toil, loss of time, daring and dan- j hls hand t0 the reat tribune, who,- hav
ger of tho salver. Tho hisrh order of merit ' ln& meanwhile risea from his chair, er-
in a pecuniary estimate Is the safe bring- Prssed his pleasure at making the ac
Insr In of m-onertv entirelv abandoned nnrt . qnaintance of so distinguished, an officer,
lost to the owner derllct. ifor such sen-- t
Ice courts have sometimes awarded seven- I
eighths for salvage, and It is usual to clve
half." '
Thus the Qrst thing the Judge has to J
consider Is In how great danger the nron-
erty was. It Is only human nature for
the rescuing party to exaggerate the psril
through which he went, and the Judge
must be shrewd enough to separate fic
tion from fact ,
Again, the Judge must consider what' the"
capacity of the rescuer .for helping actu
ally Is, and of what actual assistance the1
rescuer was. Then. In the last place, tho
flnnl condition of the rescued vessel as a
whole must be taken Into account arid
the division of salvage made on the basis
of services rendered.
The awarding of jsalvaca is. of course
based oa any regular rate of percent--1

of tho final value of. the rescued property,
and then almost exclusively in cases
where the property has been abandoned.
There ha e, ben exceptional cases of a
rescuer receiving "some thing above 50 jfer

found him vastly amused over a visit

General, who until that time had been aJno""V wnen sporting usnermen never

statesman, had entered the latter's pros- j
ence, carrjlng In his hand a volume en
titled. "Men of the Time," or some work;

saying a word, and laid on Gambetta's
desk before attempting to greet him or to
explain the purpose of his call. Then,

"I thought," said Quilby, as he helped
himself, "that you didn't celiee hv any
thing of this .sort."
Bagater's face flushed with righteous
Indignation.
"I don't!" he exclaimed. "When I spoke
I wasn!t-referring to these. wondcrXul tab

1 1 take occasionally a judicious doe of
Palnrlb's pills, and' for rheumatism I
know nothing better than Acker's Sting
Itemover. I have known Windpipe's Won
drous Weed Syrup to cure a cough in one
.hour. I positively know that Salvator's
Capsules will knock IndlgesUon, and I
"have" been cured of lumbago ih no time

aside 'from these few sovereign remedies,
any man who is weak enough to Indulge
in patent medicines Is committing himself
to an early grave."

-6hootlng, hunting and fishing are ob
vlQUSr survivals of our wild days. At
ono time this was the only way people
could, procure -food for themselves and
their families. Of course, the most skill
ful, man in the tribe, who camo home with
the greatest number of flsh or birds or
beasts, was the most respected. And so
eat their catch, and when the snorllne
spxt does not even sometimes pick up
his game, the man who makes the best
.Ijag or fills, the biggest basket gets most
honoVT The love of sport Is merely a
savage trait, which civilization hac not
I -yet blotted out.
